On 10-15-16, at approximately 2:30 AM, an Angels Camp Police Officer made a traffic stop in the 1300 block of Bird's Way, after noticing that a vehicle did not have a front license plate. The driver, who appeared to be following another vehicle, drove to the end of the dead end street and attempted a parking maneuver before finally coming to a stop. The occupants of the first vehicle exited the car and advised that they were on their way to a residence on the street.
